I want to insert tab spaces in insert mode but snipmate wouldnt allow me to do so. How do i either re-map snipmate trigger button to something other than tab or is there any other way to insert tab spaces when snipmate is installed.

Thanks

  • Snipmate's expansion is triggered on `` *when the cursor is after an identified trigger*: it shouldn't prevent you from inserting actual tabs when that condition is not met. – romainl May 09 '13 at 21:32
  • Even i thought so, but for some reason snipmate is not working as expected. – vicky May 09 '13 at 21:59

    Check if you have the SuperTab plugin installed. I experienced your problem and it was SuperTab that was giving me grief. I uninstalled it and all is well. – Gary Willoughby May 10 '13 at 09:22
  • The guy who downvoted this must be a complete moron, I have the same problem, maybe someone thinks that our problems shouldn't get solved or something? +1 to the question and I guess `supertab` is my problem as well since I have it installed :S – Not Amused May 28 '13 at 23:49

no matter what plugin you installed, this should work anyway (INSERT mode):

c-v<tab>

  • I just read your question `is there any other way to insert tab spaces when snipmate is installed.` . :) – Kent May 09 '13 at 22:01
  • sorry about that, i think my question was worded wrong. I want to be able to insert tab spaces with the tab key while also having snipmate installed..:) – vicky May 09 '13 at 22:07
  • I found that this happens only when snipmate is run along with supertab. – vicky May 09 '13 at 23:16
